It is part of Uflex's patented MACH Cable line, engineered from decades of experience producing high-quality, long-lasting, flexible control cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MACH5X12 uses an innovative core design that maximizes efficiency and minimizes lost motion, so shift and throttle inputs at the helm translate directly to the engine with less play and less effort. The conduit is built for a high level of flexibility, which reduces the bend radius needed during installation and makes routing through tight or complex helm-to-engine runs easier than with stiffer cables. Stainless steel cables and fittings provide corrosion resistance in the marine environment, and the cable is maintenance free once installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a 12-foot length cable in the MACH5 configuration, meaning it is built to the Mercury-style cable format. It is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engine control applications where a Mercury-style (C5-type) control cable is called for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e MACH5X12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e MACH5 (Mercury style, comparable to C5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel cables and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintenance free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.5 x 16.5 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755028550\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines using a Mercury-style (C5-type) control cable\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines does the Uflex MACH5X12 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The MACH5X12 is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines that use a Mercury-style (C5-type) control cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the MACH5X12 cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e This cable is 12 feet long, as indicated by the MACH5X12 part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat style of cable is the MACH5 series?\u003c\/strong\u003e MACH5 is Uflex's Mercury-style cable configuration, comparable to a C5-type cable, within the broader MACH Cable lineup that also includes MACHZero (universal, like C2\/C8), MACH14 (OMC\/BRP style, like C14), and MACH36 (Gen II Mercury style, like C36).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the MACH5X12 cable made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex MACH5X12 uses stainless steel cables and fittings for corrosion resistance in marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the MACH5X12 require regular maintenance?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the MACH5X12 is maintenance free once installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the MACH5 cable have a smaller bend radius than other control cables?\u003c\/strong\u003e The MACH5X12's conduit is built with an exclusive design for a high level of flexibility, which reduces the bend radius needed and makes routing through complex helm-to-engine paths easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the MACH5X12 suitable for both throttle and shift applications?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the MACH Series cables including the MACH5X12 are designed for smooth, easy, and precise shift and throttle movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the MACH5X12 and a standard replacement control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The MACH5X12 uses Uflex's patented high-performance core design, which maximizes efficiency and minimizes lost motion compared to conventional cables, while its stainless steel construction and flexible conduit are built for long-lasting, low-maintenance use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Uflex MACH5X12 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The MACH5X12 weighs 1.9 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the MACH5X12 suitable for outboard engines only?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the MACH5X12 is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the package dimensions of the MACH5X12?\u003c\/strong\u003e The MACH5X12 ships in packaging measuring 16.5 x 16.5 x 1 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991107612891,"sku":"UFX-MACH5X12","price":60.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/31-UpgEGSaL.jpg?v=1784491707","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/uflex-mach5x12-mach5-mercury-style-12-ft-engine-control-cable-shift-throttle-for-mercury-mercruiser-mariner-volvo-outboard-inboard-sterndrive","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
